I want to implement a win2000 vpn solution. I have some users with win2000 prof. on their workstations and others that uses win98. For those users with win2000 prof. I would like to use L2TP over IPSEC and for win98 users PPTP. My question is can those two protocols coexist on the same vpn server. I've read that if you use L2TP over IPSEC , it enables filters which only except L2TP over IPSEC packets and reject everything else. Am I misunderstanding what I can do with the Windows2000 base VPN solution. Can you please recommend a L2TP over IPSEC vpn client that i can us for my win98 users. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Abel,

As far as I'm aware you can set up you IPSec policies to handle both
types of connections, L2tp and PPTP. However the major caveat is
configuring L2tp. This you may not be aware does require a Certificate
server to hand out machine certificate, even if you want to use
pre-shared keys.

cheers,
